A couple of years ago I watched this surprisingly good movie on Lifetime called "My Name Is Sarah" with Jennifer Beals.  In the flick Beals plays a lonely and emotionally distant woman who accidentally ends up at an AA meeting.

Against her better judgment and after a few feeble attempts to convince people she's not an alcoholic she eventually becomes part of the group out of need for any kind of outreach. Later on when she meets a man she really likes she tries hard to correct everyone's assumptions, but by then it's way too late and her erratic behavior only makes people more sure than ever she belongs in AA....a touching, sweet and sometimes sad movie that should be on DVD!!

 The season premiere of Medium's seventh season is just a few hours away...hopefully tonight's all too familiar plot device of mother and daughter switching bodies will be done in a fresh way...I still love this show, but my passion has dimmed just a tad.

While the opener sounds more like Freaky Friday than anything else, I'm really looking forward to a future episode (mentioned in TV Guide) where Alison helps lovelorn singles by matching signs on their foreheads (only she can see) to other people with the same mark.

It sounds just kooky and sweet enough to be like one of my favorite episodes from much earlier in the series' run when Alison finds out what her life would have been like if she had married someone other than her beloved Joe.

For no apparent reason (that I consciously know of ) today I snatched up a copy of Gray's Anatomy at the library where I work. The book may not be as sexy or as deliciously ludicrous as the tv show that shares its name (and very little else!), but somehow it has sucked me into a fascinating world of detailed descriptions and stark black and white drawings.

The inexplicable unease I have felt all day has started to melt away and all I want to do is read words like "occipital bone" and "phalanges" and study the pictures that go with them.  I am calm, I am one with the world...it's the oddest thing!:)

If you get a chance this month go to your local Borders or Barnes and Noble and buy the October issue of Mojo magazine which comes with an incredible CD "re-imagining" the Beatles' Let it Be album...it's amazing how good it is! more soon!:)

I first discovered E.S.P. as a cassette way back in 1987, when I passionately loved the Bee Gees due to what might have been a tad unhealthy and possibly outdated fascination with the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack.

E.S.P. never really did that well here in the States; overseas it charted considerably higher (it reached #1 in Germany and Switzerland and #5 in the U.K.) Long forgotten by anyone other than a diehard Bee Gees fan and considered a flop if remembered at all, the cd (to me, at least) is remarkably well-aged and definitely deserving of a 21st century listen.

Not too long ago I purchased it off of Amazon as an import. It had been a long time since I'd given it a good listen and I was amazed at how modern it is...how more appropriate it sounds now then it did back when most people still associated the Gibb brothers with disco.

There are soft and sweet songs like "Angela," which is pretty and likable, but not a stand-out when compared to the haunting title track. "Giving Up the Ghost" (as oddly compelling and unlike the Bee Gees' normal sound as "E.S.P.") is my favorite!
